- Wow.

- So, what do you say?

[ Both ]

Sure.

Oh, good!

In order to dance,

one must be able

to move freely.

Now then, lesson

number one:
rhythm.

Althea, what do we know

about rhythm?

- Beats me.

- Precisely!

You clever little girl!

Rhythm

is all about beats.

Good guess.

[ Heartbeat ]

There.

Do you feel the beat?

Uh... yeah.

[ Chuckles ]

Yes, I know.

You see, all life

moves to the rhythm of

our most glorious instrument--

the human heart.

[ Horse Whinnies ]

Rhythm is everywhere.

All you have to do...

is listen.

[ Heartbeat Continues ]

I can't hear anything.

Look.

[ Hercules ]

A man sawing wood.

Just once.

How long has it been?

She died when I was four.

I never really got a chance

to know her.

He-- He says

I'm as pretty as she was.

Do you think I'm pretty?

Well, yes, I--

I think you're very pretty.

I-- I--

[ Knocking ]

I'll get that.

The magistrate would like

a word with you.

Hmm.

Don't worry.

I'll be back soon.

[ Hysterius ]

Hercules.

Thank you for coming

on such short notice.

I must admit

you've caught us

a little bit off guard.

You're the first celebrity

we've had here,

and we've done nothing

to honor your gracious visit.

Well, I appreciate the thought,

but I'd rather you didn't.

And modest too.

You really are a...

hero.
